Reo Grand #2

[K31Scout]

Got hypnotized by all the Kawasaki Green LP/SL's out there and went for it. It really is lighter. Got the RM8 and RM9 as well. I prefer an airy, single coil but went dual coil on the Vector and like it so far and it will not leak unless it's upside down. The RM8 Derringer is great and is bumping out the RM4 (leaker). The RM8 is almost leak proof but I've managed a little dribble at the air holes but if I don't over squonk it will be fine. I fear dry hits and tend to over do it.

I like the adjustable 510 on this new one and it's needed for the RM9 which does not have an adjustable post and it won't work on my older Reo Grand LP. Thanks to all who helped me out on the atty advice.

Yeah, I've been in a trance by the SL/LP Kawasaki green Grand for a while now. Looks awesome!

Stellar pick ups, K31

Love the matching glow button, too.

Nice looking mods thanks for sharing

Very nice! Would be hard to misplace that green!!
Also, nice to see someone else numbering their batteries with a sharpie

What build to you have in the RM9?

 

[Jugband]

Great choice! I was just drooling over the SL Kawasaki Green on Reo's mods last night. That will be my next one. Congrats!

Right now a .5 ohm dual coil 28g with Rayon but will try something a bit lower in the next day or so.

Nice.
I like mine (Vector) with 6 wraps of 26ga @ 2mm with Rayon, comes out to ~.37ohms.

I am considering a sl soon as well. That green is awesome. I am trying to decide between getting a second reo and Titan box or a Woodville with poly finish. Tough choice. Lol.

I just got my SL this week. The weight difference is pretty cool. Just having a hard time not finding another one I like now but I think the Kawasaki Green ones are my favourite.

Really like that green SL.......Congrats. Posts like this are weakening my resolve to wait at least a little while before ordering my second REO.

weakening my resolve to wait

We can, and will help with that!!

Waiting is risky.

A beautiful pair indeed! The weight difference is noticeable (not like the non SL is heavy) and the grip ability is great too. The other day I pulled my red SL from my front pant pocket and a friend of mine said that it looked "so cool and high-tech."

 

[SteamStack]

Yup, that's one thing not many mention is the grip that sl provides! Hard to drop that one.

Once you put a sl in your hand it's hard to go back.

My resolve not to get a 3rd Reo for a while is wavering.

Yep - that'll happen, brother. Lordy, will it happen.

It's definitely a problem. I've decided I need an orange SL door for the black wrinkle Reo. I do like the enhanced grip those lightening cut outs provide. There, I've justified it. Maybe the RM7 too while I'm pushing the cart around. lol

Congrats on that bad ayuss SL. The Kawi Green is beast ain't it?
